The article reports on the National Farmers Union's (NFU) proposed scheme to protect sugar beet farmers in Great Britain from crop losses during extreme weather. The program will be introduced during the 2012 to 2013 campaign to prevent crop loss due to severe frost. A provision to ensure that growers do not have to shoulder the total cost arising from failing to deliver beet to British Sugar's factories in the event of an extreme early frost is also mentioned.
